Dynacraft Surge – Cheapest Electric Skateboard

Read our Full Review >>>> The Dynacraft Surge is the least expensive electric skateboard on our list and, unfortunately, gets the lowest reviews. With it’s comparatively low price tag, this skateboard is appealing from an economic standpoint; but that old adage that you get what you pay for definitely applies here. This board just can’t compare with the features, speed, or reliability of the others. The Dynacraft Surge skateboard is a 31 inch board that weighs 22 pounds. It has a 7 ply maple deck and polyurethane coated wheels. The 150 W motor is hub mounted. You would think that such a lightweight board would travel pretty wheel on a 150 W motor, but the Surge can only achieve a maximum speed of 6 mph on a flat surface.

The maximum suggested rider weight is 145 pounds, and anybody heavier would surely cause the board to slow even more. The board will travel about 8 miles on a fully charged battery, but it takes 18 hours to charge the battery. The pistol grip remote control has been reported to be uncomfortable and sluggish to respond. The Dynacraft Surge is being marketed to newbies and children. The manufacturer recommends the rider be 8 years or older. This board is not made to last, and you would do better to save your money and purchase one of the other boards on the list.

If you have ever experienced the thrill of speeding down a steep hill on a traditional skateboard or snowboard, you know what I’m talking about. The wind in your face, the speed, the danger. It’s an adrenaline rush. As seasoned skateboarders know, there’s nothing like it. But, with a traditional board you can only do that going downhill. The rest of the time you are exhausting yourself kick pushing just to keep up a good speed. Now, picture yourself getting the same rush, except without all the kicking, even up hill. A high quality, motorized, electric skateboard will make that possible, and you can do it all without breaking a sweat.

Speed Why push and kick your way to the next class, when you can hop on your electric skateboard, and cruise your way at speeds of 20 miles per hour or more. These are not your grandpa’s skateboards. Indeed, for those who are into speed, without working up a sweat, then a high quality, electric skateboard is for you. Take the Bamboo GT Series electric sateboard from Evolve. https://www.amazon.com/Evolve-Skateboards-All-Terrain-Longboard-Skateboard/dp/B0791W28PR . This board has a top speed of 26 miles per hour with the ability to travel up to 12 miles on one charge. This sweet, all-terrain, 2-in-one board comes with an easy to use, ergonomically designed remote control.

Remote Control One of the top reasons to purchase an electric skateboard over a manually operated model is the convenience of their wireless controls. These remote controls are ergonomically designed for ease of use. The Tomoloo 3-wheel board, is a superb example of design. Its remote control handles acceleration, braking, gear changing, and forward movement. Electric skateboard apps such as the Esk8 app for iOS and Android, are Bluetooth compatible, provide you with real-time data as you cruise through town.

Eco-Friendly Personal Transport Lets face it, we are in dire need of cutting back on our individual carbon footprints, and an electric skateboard can do just that. A motorized, electric skateboard is known as one of the most perfect forms of personal transportation on the market. These skateboards run on durable motors that powered by rechargeable batteries. This means that your commute won’t leave the world a dirtier place, as you’ll not be leaving behind a carbon footprint. In fact, did you know that according to the EPA, just one, average sized passenger vehicle unloads up to 4.6 tons of carbon dioxide per year?Whether you purchase a board with an integrated hub motor or one that is belt-driven, both are powered by state of the art battery technology, so no burning of fossil fuels here.

Money Saving Believe it or not, those short trips add up after a while. No matter if you take an Uber, Lyft, cab or bus to make short runs in the city, over time the fares add up. When you use and electric skateboard for your trips, you can cut your transportation costs substantially. As these boards are battery powered, you won’t end up at your destination out of breath and sweaty.

Yes. A good pair of skateboarding shoes ensures that you receive a comfortable and secure ride. Not only that, but do you really want to wear down your expensive shoes? Skateboarding shoes are designed to help give you that good push, while keeping you secure on the deck, while helping to reduce the possibility of injuries. Here are a few well made, skateboarding shoes for you to take a look at:

• Supra Stacks Skate Shoe
• Osiris Men’s Protocol Skate Shoe
• Nike Zoom Stefan Janoski Skate Shoe
• Lakai Griffin Skate Shoe
• Etnies Marana Vulc Skate Shoe

Absolutely.

While it might not seem so at first, the electric skateboard is perfect for newbies just getting into the sport. First, there is the question of braking. Many newbies find it a bit hard to brake a traditional skateboard by tripping down. So, to get off on the right foot, so to speak, it’s much easier for a beginner to brake using a remote control, and ease into it. Beginners may have to be a bit more cautious with accelerating, as starting off too quickly with some boards could result in a fall for a newbie. To illustrate a good beginners eskateboard, we have the Boosted Dual+ 2000W Electric Skateboard. Don’t let the 2000W fool you. Even though it is powerful, it is an exceptionally easy board for the beginner to learn. This is due to its adjustable speed levels. Newbies simply start at the lowest level, and work themselves up as their skills increase.

While it’s not necessary, it really is advisable. For instance, if you’re out cruising a few back country paths on your all-terrain e-board, and either the belt breaks, or the battery dies, then it’s good to have some basic repair skills. Just like a driver carries with them a spare tire in case of flats, the skater should stash a basic skateboard repair kit in their backpack.. We should note that some models come with their own specialty tool, so make sure to check the packaging details to be sure.

If the model you are looking at does not include a basic multi-tool, Here are some great skate tools to get you started:

• Lorje Skateboards T-Tool All-in-One Skateboard Tool
• Radeckal All-in-One Skate Tool

Sure, you could drive to work or ride your bike, but the electric skateboard is just so much more fun. If you drive, you have to buy fuel, fight traffic, and struggle to find parking. A bicycle saves you on fuel cost, but you are going to get all hot and sweaty, so you will probably need to change clothes. An electric skateboards allows you to put on your suit, grab your briefcase, strap on a helmet and go to work. At most, you might need to change shoes and comb your hair when you arrive.

As you can see, when it comes to tackling inner city travels, the electric skateboard can handle that last, extra mile with great ease, little expense and leave no carbon footprint. Having an electric skateboard for urban commutes means saving money on public transportation fares, Uber and Lyft fees or if you own a car, you can save some gas money. As such, in commutes alone, your electric skateboard will pay for itself in no time. Keep in mind that the ability your board has to assist you in your commutes depends on the range it can travel on one battery charge.

However, not all electric skateboards are perfect for all commutes. When the main purpose is to commute, you’ll need to consider the weight and size of the board. A board used for commuting should be light enough that it can be easily transported onto buses or trains if need be. Seasoned e-skateboard commuters suggest that the more congested your public transit ride, the shorter your board should be. Also, consider the type of terrain you’ll be traveling. If you plan on taking some scenic shortcuts through the park, then it stands to reason you’ll need to purchase an all-terrain electric skateboard. If you’re only going to glide over pavement, then a standard e-skateboard will do. Finally, consider a model that has a swappable battery, and carry a spare. Having a swappable battery means that you’ll be able to insert a freshly charged battery in case yours runs out of power.

The Boosted Board Mini is a fabulous place to begin your quest for the perfect commuter board. Reaching speeds up to 20 miles per hour means that you’ll be able to make that client meeting in spite of heavy traffic jams, and can travel up to 14 miles on one charge. As its name suggests, the Boosted Board Mini is the perfect size when it comes to commuting. With its silky smooth ride, compact size, speed and distance, this is definitely the one to take a look at.

Needless to say, there’s been quite a bit of talk regarding the pros and cons of the integrated hub motor and the belt driven motor in recent years. Both motors have their fans, and both their detractors. If you’re new to the world of skateboarding, then know that up until around 2016 electric skateboards had belt driven motors. Once 2016 rolled around, the hub driven boards became available to the public. Those new to electric skateboards may find it confusing when it comes to understanding the difference between the two, so we’ve jotted down a few topics, just in case.

Wheel to Motor Revolutions

The first thing we’re going to look at, is the difference in wheel to motor revolution ratio, and how it affects performance. Basically, a hub mounted motor attaches to one of the wheels of the skateboard, and the revolutions of the motor matches the revolutions of the wheels, giving a 1:1 ratio. While this allows you to gain some nice speed on level surfaces, it also limits your ability to travel uphill at the same pace. Whereas a gear and belt motor system allows for some flexibility when it comes to adjusting the ratio of motor to wheel revolutions. A larger motor gear attached to a smaller wheel gear will let the wheels turn faster than the motor. These systems also provide more torque and power, so you can travel up hill without losing power or speed.

Friction

In the end, the type of motor you select is based on personal choice. For instance, as the hub motor is integrated into the wheel, your skateboard will have a nice, modern and sleek appearance. Not only that, but since hub motors have no belts, they produce little if any friction. Minimal friction means low drag and less stress on the battery.

Performance

As for performance, lower drag means that you’ll experience a smoother ride. Hub motors also give you added perk of having the ability to ride even after the battery goes dead. When a belt motor is drained of power, you won’t be able to push kick yourself along and will end up carrying your board the rest of the way, and electric skateboards are not lightweight. On the contrary, with a hub powered motor, if your battery runs out of juice, you can still push kick it to your destination, just as you would any other normal long board. Finally, as the hub motor is not belt driven, you’ll enjoy a much quieter commute. This quiet scores extra points when it comes to riders who wish to take their all-terrain boards out to experience nature.

Finally, hub motors can overheat at times, and when they overheat they fail. This is due to it’s location. As the hub motor is located inside the polyurethane wheel, heat dissipation is not very efficient. This leads to high temperatures, and high temperatures can mean melted insulation on the copper wiring. This should not be too much of an issue with casual riders, but if you are addicted to speed? Then talk to some experts, read customer reviews to help you decide, because chances are, if you are an adult rider of around 150 pounds, and plan in pushing your hub-driven board to the max, then you will probably risk overheating. On the contrary, with belt driven motors, heat dissipates more quickly, so you can take longer rides, and drive your board hard without worrying about overheating.

Acceleration and Braking

Right from the get go, you’ll be able to tell the difference between the two motors. The hub motor has less torque, so will not be as responsive, whereas the electric belt driven motor will be able to accelerate more quickly. They can also take on inclines much easier than hub motors. As for braking, with belt-driven motors their gear/pulley system leads to braking that is not as precise as you find in hub motors. This is due to the fact that the braking system in hub motors is located in the wheel.

Larger, more flexible wheels will give you a smoother and quieter ride than small, hard wheels. You want a wheel at least 60 mm with a wide contact surface. The contact surface refers to the portion of the wheel that actually rolls on the ground. Some wheels are convex shaped, meaning only part of the wheel will actually make contact with the road. Think of a tire on a car. The wider the tire, the safer the ride. Look for large, wide wheels when you buy your electric skateboard. This will give you maximum stability and speed.

Just like buying a car, there are many different models with many different options. For instance, you may be interested in an all-terrain model, such as the WowGo All-Terrain Electric Board. These electric skateboards are built tough to handle varying types of terrain, whereas a less expensive model may simply be built for cruising the streets. Other considerations include: Manufacturing costs, import or export costs, quality of products, power of the motor, length of battery, and even brand name. All of these are go into the final pricing of the board.

While some of you may wonder if it’s less expensive to build a board from scratch, for experienced riders, yes. Keep in mind when you are paying for an electric skateboard, you’re paying for the brand, the customer support team, and reputation the company acquired after gathering years of satisfied customers. Once you become experienced, and purchase a few skateboard kits to play with, then you’ll be more than capable of doing your own, custom builds.

City and State laws can (and often do) differ on the legality of riding your Electric Skateboards in bike lanes and sidewalks.

Make sure to checkout our post on electric skateboard laws to find out what your local laws are.

Generally speaking, electric skateboards are NOT recommended for very young riders. Those under 10 years old don’t have the reflexes and quick thinking needed to avoid disaster in an emergency situation. Some manufacturers do recommend their boards for riders as young as 8 (see Dynacraft Surge, above); but most recommend riders been 13 years or older.

The electric skateboards in our article, are well-made, easy to ride and lightweight. That being said, it’s not recommended that electric skateboards be given to children. First of all, they don’t have the proper physical development to be able to handle these large, powerful, adult motor driven longboards. Secondly, it’s important to check with your states regulations. For instance, according to California law AB-604, you must be 16 years of age to ride an electric skateboard.

On average, a good rule of thumb is 14 years of age for an adult sized, electric skateboard. That being said, there are companies that do make skateboards for children, 8 years and up. These boards are smaller, lighter and usually have maximum speeds of 6 to 10 mph. So, to summarize, you should not allow a child to ride an adult-sized electric skateboard. However, it’s perfectly acceptable to supply them with an electric skateboard specifically targeted for children.

Are there riders who attempt to do tricks and fancy moves with their electric skateboards? Yes. Should they be doing them? Probably not. These boards are generally used for cruising downhill, commuting, or kiteboarding for the most part. Keep in mind electric skateboards are not cheap, and doing tricks only increases the probability of damaging their electronic components. There’s no reason why you can’t go out and purchase a high performance shortboard to perform tricks, which is what you should do. Keep your electric skateboard for cruising and commuting, and take a quality shortboard to the park.

While it’s certainly enjoyable to feel the wind rushing through your hair as you glide down the pavement, it’s simply not a good idea. A skateboarders world is rarely a solitary one. Skaters are almost always around traffic, pedestrians, bicycles or motorized vehicles, not to mention uneven terrain or damaged pavement. The odd chance of having to made an unexpected, sudden stop is always a risk skateboarders take, and these sudden stops can lead to a nasty tumble. Wearing a protective helmet is crucial when skateboarding. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), there are approximately 50,000 skateboarding accidents each year. If you do not wear a helmet and suffer trauma to the head, you can become permanently disabled, or even die.

A properly fitting skateboarding helmet will sit low on your forehead, with interior padding. Once you try a helmet on, shake your head. A properly fitting helmet will not move as you shake. Finally, take some time to make certain that your senses are not impaired by the helmet. In order to get the best protection possible, you must do a measurement in order to purchase the correct size. Keep in mind that each brand will often size their helmets differently, this is why you must take your personal measurements with you, when searching for a skateboarding helmet:

First, take a tape measure and wrap it about your forehead, clearing your ears and brows. Keep the tension of the tape measure at a comfortable level. Imagine that this is the inner portion of the helmet resting on your head. You want a measurement that is not too tight or too lax. If you don’t have a tape measure, simply use a string and follow the same procedure. Next, take the string and place it on a ruler or yardstick to get your inches or centimeters.

You can also use your hat size. However, this is to only be used as a last resort, as you want the measurement to be as exact as possible. Under no circumstances are you to skimp on your helmet. Choose one that has met or exceeded the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission testing, or that of the Snell Memorial Foundation.

This question refers to the decks of each board. The answer reflects what the rider prefers, as different deck materials perform different ways. The best electric skateboard decks are made from Canadian maple wood, carbon fiber, bamboo or aluminum. As with most things, consider how you will use your electric skateboard. For instance, if you’re in the market for a fast board that will work well with commutes, then an aluminum deck might be a sound idea. Aluminum is strong and light, which also means it’s easier to carry in between rides. The same can be said for carbon fiber decks. They are deceptively strong for their light weight, and so are also perfect for commuting. However, since carbon fiber decks are basically nothing more than plastic interwoven with carbon fibers, the won’t offer you the most comfortable ride due to their rigidity. A bamboo deck, on the other hand, is not only strong, but gives you just that extra bit of flex which is designed to give you a smoother, more comfortable ride.

Did you know that skateboarding has been around since the 1900’s? That’s true. One thing is for certain: Skateboarders cherish their individual riding styles. This desire to be unique gave birth to the art of customization. Indeed, it can be said that skateboarders all over the world enjoy pimping their rides. While electric skateboards might not be as open to experimental customization as traditional boards, it is still possible to trick out your ride:

•Customized grip tape •Wheel customization’s •Pimp out your trucks and hubs •Alloy rims •Decals •Carbon fiber shock absorber mounting towers

Those of you who have a solid and sound blend of tech and manual dexterity will most definitely find an electric skateboard fun to customize, and we’re not just talking decal placement. Simply do a quick online search, and you’ll find skateboarding fans trading their ideas on how to customize their boards using trucks, wheels, and even paint jobs. The more seasoned the rider, the more they look to make their boards fit their moves. There are even riders who go as far as building their own electric skateboards, from the ground up.

After a good amount of wear and tear, you’ll have to switch out your belts. It’s recommended by some riders that you become familiar with the basic mechanics of your belt-driven motors, so you can change belts in mid-cruise, after all, keep in mind that you can’t kick push a belt driven board if the belts break. These boards are not light weight, and will be a nuisance to carry all the way back home.
